i dont even know where to start so
thanks for your vote!

Lets make this happen

Bump

Thinking about this I was wondering whether there may be scenarios where, let's say in a trade topic, there's actually substantial new information that rather belongs into a regular post than into an edit of the first post.

Example: I'm selling an item in post 1, set a bin, someone bins it in post 30, to which I reply in post 31. But then he never shows up, or says in a PM that he's no longer interested in trading.

Now I could just edit my first post, saying it's still available, which might cause some confusion (and would perhaps require people to compare the time of my editing to the time of posts 30 or 31).
Of course I could just wait and put the info into a regular bump, which means 4 hours will pass where people must think the item is no longer available.
Making an early clarification in another post is a violation of the early bump rule, but is the rule strictly enforced in that scenario?

Or what if I'm refusing someone's offer at first, but 1 hour later decide it's actually good and I want to trade? For transparency reasons I may not be willing to move the negotiations to my PMs but keep them visible for everyone.

I'm torn between voting yes or no on this. Might attach a vote later though!

I think this would be difficult since replying to others posts with C/O or T4T are considered early bumps these days.

Will vote yes because I think if something could be implemented, it would be beneficial.

prepare to get obliterated if this gets implemented by bm traders

joking aside I vote yes

How about combine their post with the last one if it falls under such conditions?
This would allow the user to reply with what they want.

Hey, are you referring to my post earlier? If so, what do you mean by "combine their post"? Something different than enabling longer editing periods?

I was suggesting for something like this, in the event the OP posts a reply under the 4 hour bump.

That looks pretty cool tbh. I don‘t know whether it‘s feasible though. This appears like a pretty major change compared to what op is suggesting.
